Okay so…since my last post…
So I still have diabetes. They have switched my day time insulin to NOVO-log and it doesn’t work as well. My sugars have been in the high 200′s and 300′s. It should be between 100-120. But they are working on that I guess. My diabetic retinopathy has gotten a bit worse. I had the one laser treatment in my right eye and two in my left. There was too much blood in my right to do another treatment. So they gave me a little over a month to see if the blood and broken veins would clear up on their own. But not only did it not clear up but it got worse & it started in my left eye. So now I am legally blind in my right eye and my vision is going in my left… Plus I have a level 4 cataract in my right eye. So I was scheduled for surgery on June 11th to have all of that removed from my right eye. But until today I did not have the green light for surgery because of my heart failure.
Now…the anemia. I am still severely anemic but I finally got in to see the hematologist at the cancer center. He seems to think my very irregular and severe cycles are the cause of the anemia. He also thinks the cyst on my ovary might be the cause of the bad cycles. So, Now I am getting 6 Iron infusions over 6 weeks. I had one last Thursday and after it was over I had a reaction and was in terrible pain on my feet and my hands and lower arms. But I felt amazing this whole week after. I was putting up tables and chairs and walking all over the place and never had to stop to catch mt breath! I have 5 more scheduled on the next 5 Thursdays. Hopefully the reaction won’t happen again or they will at least give me more pills to counter act. The hematologist also wants to make sure I get in to get my cyst removed soon. I was denied for surgery on April 30th by my cardiologist because my heart wasn’t strong enough.
TODAY I had an appointment with my cardiologist and he approved me for surgery on my eye this Friday and also said I could have surgery to get the cyst removed! YAY! YAY! YAY! So after my eye surgery I will talk to my GYN and be able to reschedule that surgery too!
Oh and the bestest news ever! The nurse practitioner I saw while my cardiologist was on vacation said that as soon as my anemia gets under control…my heart should fix itself!
SO……I get the eye surgery which fixes my eyes better than they’ve been since 1987 an I get the iron which is making my heart stronger and helping with the anemia which allows me to have surgery to remove the cyst WHICH will hopefully fix the bad cycles AND the anemia and then my heart will fix itself and I will feel better than I have in years!!! I am so excited that God is using all this shit to turn my life around and make me better than before!!!!!
Oh oh oh!!!! And the icing on the cake people! I told mu OB/GYN that the doctors i had in 1987 when I had cancer, told my parents that , if I lived past 10, I would never be able to have kids. She asked me a few questions and said that we’ve not been able to get pregnant because of this cyst and she sees no medical reason why we should not be able to get pregnant after it’s removed!
Holy Moses!!! Prepare yourselves world!! There could be a min Pomeroy coming your way in the next year or two!!!!
